The Louise

Description

Located in the famous wine region, Barossa Valley, The Louise is a luxury boutique vineyard retreat dedicated to the appreciation of good food and wine; in fact, it is a true gourmand's paradise. Set upon a hillside, the modern property enjoys views across the vineyards and the guest suites take advantage of these, as each one has a vineyard-facing terrace and sunrise or sunset views. In addition, each one features luxuries including a spa bath, flat-screen television, BOSE iPod docking station and a fully stocked mini-bar, and they accommodate between two and four adult guests each. A host of wine-tasting classes and vineyard tours are on offer, while the renowned, award-winning restaurant, Appellation, utilises local ingredients, many from the kitchen garden, in both its à la carte menu and signature five-course tasting menu, which is, of course, expertly paired with incredible local wines chosen by the retreat's resident Sommelier.
